Services
Physiotherapy
Our chartered physiotherapists provide comprehensive treatment for musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Using evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, exercise prescription, and electrotherapy, we address spinal problems, joint disorders, and soft tissue injuries. Each treatment plan focuses on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and preventing future complications through tailored interventions.
Pilates Classes
Tailored Pilates programmes strengthen core postural muscles to improve alignment and stability. Small group classes and individual sessions focus on controlled movements, breath coordination, and functional strength development. Our APPI-trained instructor adapts exercises for varying abilities, including specialist classes for pregnant women and elderly participants seeking improved balance.
Acupuncture
Integrated acupuncture treatments utilise fine needles to stimulate the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms. This evidence-based approach effectively addresses chronic pain conditions, headaches, and sports injuries by promoting endorphin release and reducing inflammation. All treatments follow strict hygiene protocols using single-use disposable needles.
Continence Physiotherapy
Specialist assessment and treatment for urinary incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction. Through detailed consultations and physical examinations, we develop personalised exercise programmes incorporating biofeedback and electrical stimulation. Education on bladder retraining and lifestyle modifications forms a key component of our holistic approach to pelvic health management.
Elderly Rehabilitation
Community-based rehabilitation programmes address mobility limitations and fall risks in older adults. Our physiotherapists conduct home visits and clinic sessions focusing on strength training, balance improvement, and safe ambulation techniques. Tailored exercise plans incorporate functional tasks to enhance confidence and independence in daily activities.
